Welcome from the Chair

Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to join the 4th International Electronic Conference on Brain Sciences (IECBS 2024) after the strong success of the previous annual online conference. IECBS 2024 will be held online from 23 to 25 October 2024.

The field of neuroscience is one of the most important frontiers in biomedical studies, as many of the details that control brain function are still not well understood. This makes the study of the nervous system very exciting and fast moving. This conference will address a variety of research topics which reflect some of the current areas of focus. Topics of the conference will be organized around the following sessions:

S1. Behavioral Neuroscience
S2. Systems Neuroscience
S3. Neurotechnology and Neuroimaging
S4. Neuropsychology
S5. Neurodegenerative Diseases
S6. Cognitive Neuroscience
S7. Clinical Neuroscience
S8. Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience
S9. Neurorehabilitation

The scope of this online conference is to bring together well-known worldwide experts who are currently working on brain sciences and to provide an online forum for presenting and discussing new results.

All accepted abstracts will be published on the conference website. You are required to submit an abstract (200 – 250 words). Please see the abstract guidelines in "Instructions for Authors".

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we cordially invite you to join us at the 4th International Electronic Conference on Brain Sciences (IECBS 2024).

We look forward to your contributions.

Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Stephen D. Meriney

Chair of the 4th International Electronic Conference on Brain Sciences

Stephen D. Meriney completed his PhD in Physiology/Neuroscience at the University of Connecticut with Dr. Guillermo Pilar in 1986, where he studied the parasympathetic control of intrinsic eye muscles. He then moved to the Jerry Lewis Neuromuscular Research Centre at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a postdoctoral fellow, and then became an assistant research physiologist there, with Dr. Alan Grinnell, and studied voltage-gated calcium channels and synaptic mechanisms at the neuromuscular junction.
